I don’t do this often but today was just one of those days. My 4 year old daughter was sick so I kept her home from school. My 10 month old daughter was home with me, too. Anytime you have children home with you, you can expect a little bit of chaos. I had every intention of going to the grocery store today to catch up on grocery shopping but that didn’t happen. I was anxious about the thought of bringing both of the girls with me and trying to get everything I needed to buy. We stayed home instead, creating as many messes memories as we possible could.

I took a step back this afternoon and looked at my living room. What a mess! I am amazed at how quickly things get torn up when the kids are at home so I decided to take some pictures.

So, I invite you to take a look at my mess. It happens. But, the good news is that we picked it up in about 5 minutes by throwing all of the toys in their intended baskets and calling it done!

Have you heard about Mabel’s Labels? Several months ago I actually won a set of Mabel’s Labels during a blog giveaway. I personalized them with my daughter’s name. We continue to use our labels for everything that she takes to school, especially on sippy cups, sandwich boxes, and more! I love that we can throw the items in the dishwasher and the labels do not get destroyed! My daughter loves to see her name on her items, too. Consider these labels for all of your back to school needs!

We just arrived back from a very long trip out of state. It was actually a two month trip for hubby’s training. We arrived back home on Saturday and of course all of our suitcases were piled up in the bedroom. It was quite the task to get everything unpacked and back to it’s “uncluttered” state. I thought it would be fun to show you pictures from before and after. Hopefully I can attack the closet next! What’s with the Vitacost.com box? That’s a box ready for Goodwill. Be sure to read about my 2012 goal to give vs. consign this year. I haven’t consigned one item this year! It feels so great to give.
